Celebrating 3 Years with Katlyn Prigionieri, LMFT! 🎉

This month marks three years since Katlyn joined The Center for Emotional Healing, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the impact she’s had on our clients and our team.

Katlyn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings deep expertise to her work with adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, communication issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, perinatal mood disorders, and more. Her person-centered, compassionate approach helps clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

She integrates a wide range of therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Theory, Schema Therapy, the Gottman Method, EFT, and Trauma-Informed Care to truly meet clients where they are and help them move toward a more fulfilling and confident version of themselves.

Katlyn’s calm presence, dedication, and commitment to her clients’ growth make her an invaluable part of our CEH family.

Here’s to three amazing years. Thank you, Katlyn, for everything you bring to this team and to the individuals and families you support every day. 💙

Snow Day Reminder ❄️

With winter weather officially here, we want to make sure everyone knows what to expect on snowy or icy days:

1. Safety first.
If road conditions are unsafe, your therapist will shift your session to telehealth. If the roads are clear, in-person sessions will continue as scheduled.

2. Be prepared.
Please make sure you know how to access your telehealth link and have a private space available at home. Your therapist may review this with you ahead of time so there are no surprises on stormy days.

3. Attendance & cancellations.
When telehealth is offered as a backup option, our usual cancellation and no-show policies still apply.

4. Major storms.
During blizzards or truly unsafe conditions, all sessions will automatically move to telehealth for the day.

Thank you for your flexibility and for helping us keep care consistent throughout the New England winter! Stay safe and warm. ❄️🧤

✨ Wishing everyone a Mentally Healthy Holiday Season ✨

The holidays can be magical… and sometimes a little overwhelming. This year, we’re focusing on slowing down, setting boundaries, and giving ourselves permission to breathe.

💛 Take breaks when you need them
💛 Say “no” without guilt
💛 Choose connection over perfection
💛 Protect your peace the same way you protect your loved ones
💛 Remember that your feelings are valid, even during the holidays

From all of us at The Center for Emotional Healing, may this season bring you comfort, joy, and moments of true rest. 🎄

You deserve a holiday that feels good for you.

On a day centered around gratitude, we want to take a moment to appreciate you, our community.

To everyone who has walked through our doors, reached out for support, or encouraged someone else to seek help: thank you. Your courage and openness are the heart of what we do.

Holidays can bring joy, but they can also bring stress, complicated emotions, and pressure to feel a certain way. If today feels warm and connected, we’re grateful with you. And if today feels heavy, we’re holding space for that too.

No matter what this day looks like for you, we hope you find a moment of peace, comfort, or just one deep breath that feels grounding.

Wishing you a gentle, meaningful Thanksgiving. 🧡
